Accelerating Autonomy:Inside the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League(A2RL) - Part 2
Manage episode 418354493 series 2571592
Tom McCarthy is the Executive Director at ASPIRE, an organization focused on developing, or enhancing, new technologies with the goal of building a better future. ASPIRE is behind the creation of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), which hosted its first ever race in April of this year.
In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Tom and host Ed Bernardon talked about (among other things) the inspiration behind A2RL, how the race compares to others of its kind, and who Tom hoped the audience for this race would be.
In Part 2 of this Future Car episode, Ed and Tom discuss the nature of the autonomous car that teams will use to race, the nature of how the teams will compete, what Tom hopes the greatest achievement of A2RL will be, and what he envisions for the future of racing. We also get to know Tom on a more personal level in our rapid fire section where Ed asks him questions like, what was the first car he ever owned? Did he pass his driver’s test on the first try? And what does his living room on wheels look like?
Listen in to hear this and so much more!
